Kerensky offers
his contribution to the controversy over the fall of Riga, saying the soldiers
were “concealing their cowardice under idealistic slogans.” It might have
seemed odd for Kerensky to so harshly criticize troops that might have to
defend his government against an insurrection by counter-revolutionary elements
in the army, but then again, he was already part of Kornilov’s plot.
The Russian
ambassador telegraphed that French President Poincare and his Foreign Minister
had many questions about Kornilov at a recent Paris reception. So word of the
plot was apparently getting out.
